Rauner Talks Refferenda

The Republican nominee for governor isn’t against including non-binding referenda on the ballot—but he’s not exactly for them, either. Several are being proposed by state legislators, dealing with the minimum wage, the temporary income tax increase, and a proposed tax on millionaires. Bruce Rauner says these are questions lawmakers should answer.

The House has already approved the referendum on minimum wage and the millionaires’ tax. Both require Senate approval, but even if they’re approved by voters, the General Assembly won’t be under any obligation to take action on those issues.
